Student Success Center Offers Online Tutoring

VALDOSTA - The Student Success Center (SSC) now offers online
tutoring in addition to traditional face-to-face interactions.
Web-based sessions are available for English/writing, mathematics,
chemistry, French, accounting, German, Latin, economics and
Spanish. The SSC will continue to add online tutoring for a variety
of subjects as the program grows.

"The Student Success Center's online tutoring service allows
students to access our resources and expertise even if they are
unable to come on campus to the SSC,” said Terence Sullivan,
academic advisor and tutor coordinator. “In light of increases in
the number of online classes and programs being offered at VSU, we
feel this service is needed now more than ever.”

Interested students may click on the Web-based tutoring link
located on the menu bar of the SSC Web page and login using their
BlazeNet username and password. Students must complete a mandatory
tutorial the first time they sign into the system.

When tutors are online, students may enter a live chat session with
trained SSC employees. The chat also includes a whiteboard feature
that allows students and tutors to write information on their
computers that is visible to the chat room.

“Students have access to the online system 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to post questions, comment on discussion board topics,
and uploads documents for review," Sullivan said.
